SuperSting™ Wi-Fi

SuperSting Wi-Fi Android Instrumento de Resistividad / PI / SP

The SuperSting Wi-Fi is a next-generation electrical resistivity meter and induced polarization (IP), and self-potential (SP) system, used to scan and image the subsurface of the earth and visualize the results in 2D slices or 3D volumes. The fully automated SuperSting has been thoroughly field-tested on every extreme environment on earth, utilized in over 700 peer-reviewed journal articles, and provides the highest accuracy and lowest noise levels in the industry.

There are five models of the SuperSting available (which can be upgraded simply from anywhere in the world by use of a license code):

R1 (single channel)

R2 (two channel)

R4 (four channel)

R6 (six channel)

R8 (eight channel)

The SuperSting line of electrical resistivity tomography equipment is the first in the industry to have multi-channel capability and is continually improved and updated with additional features.

SuperSting Wi-Fi Use Cases

The SuperSting uses a built-in power transmitter and can be used for traditional vertical electrical sounding (VES), mise-a-la-masse measurements, or multi-electrode electrical tomography (imaging) in 2D, 3D, and 4D.

It is versatile enough to be applied in virtually any resistivity and induced polarization (IP) field situation, including:

Groundwater Exploration

Imaging Dams & Levees

Marine Dredging

Borehole Tomography

Monitoring Landfills

Mine Leach Piles

Gold Exploration

Mineral Exploration

Borehole-To-Borehole Tomography

Marine Measurements

Imaging Tree Trunks

Imaging Vertical Walls

Imaging Inside Tunnels

Imaging Over Pyramids

Locating Graves

CO2 Sequestration Time-Lapse Monitoring

One critical use case for the SuperSting Wi-Fi is locating and drilling for groundwater. In many rural and remote third-world communities, locating drinking water can be a bit of a guessing game—and an expensive one at that. Drilling a dry hole costs just as much as drilling a hole that produces water, so errors can be egregious. With the SuperSting, you are able to make a highly educated guess as to where the groundwater is located, allowing you to place your well in a convenient area.

The internal SuperSting memory can store more than 79,000 measurements (resistivity mode) and more than 26,000 measurements in combined resistivity/IP mode.

Data Transmission

Data can be instantaneously transferred from the Android device by email or by file transfer from the Android device USB port.

RS-232C channel available to dump data from instrument to a Windows-type computer on user command.

Automatic Multi-Electrodes

The SuperSting is designed to run dipole-dipole, pole-dipole, pole-pole, gradient, Wenner, and Schlumberger surveys including roll-along surveys completely automatic with the patented Dual Mode Automatic Multi-Electrode system (U.S. Patent 6,404,203) or a passive electrode cable system.

The SuperSting can run any other array by using user-programmed command files. These are ASCII files that can be created using a regular text editor. The command files are uploaded to the SuperSting RAM memory and can at any time be recalled and run as a survey.

Depends on survey conditions and size of battery used. Internal circuitry in auto-mode adjusts current to save energy.

Operating Temperature

-20 to +50°C when controlled by your Android device (phone or tablet). The instrument LCD screen fades out at -5ºC, but the instrument continues to function normally by your Android phone, kept warm in your pocket
